The Agentic Economy Briefing #06 is out.
This month: x402 crosses 165M payments while its busiest week ever moves just $368K, Treasury issues its first GENIUS Act rulemaking, and we ask whether the protocol war even matters if the money keeps settling on the same rail underneath it.

A constant-size signature for BitVMX program inputs, instead of one that grows with the data being signed.
ESSPI introduces four protocol changes to make ECDSA/Schnorr work where only OTS schemes worked before.

Most Bitcoin bridging work treats swaps and bridges as separate problems.
TOOP formalizes both under one transfer-of-ownership protocol, built on the BitVMX dispute mechanism.

A tournament, not a queue: BATTLE resolves multiparty bridge disputes with a two-phase bracket structure, recycling dispute rewards to fund each new round.
Constant minimum capital, logarithmic rounds.

Most payment networks ask you to lock capital somewhere: channels, shared UTXO pools, sequencer bonds, just to make payments reliable.
Bit2 doesn't. No liquidity lockup, ~4 bytes of L1 data per transaction, and sub-second pre-confirmations backed by time-stamping servers instead of routing nodes.
We put together a full comparison against Lightning, Ark, RGB, and Base across throughput, fees, confidentiality, and exit guarantees.

Most optimistic bridges keep security bonds locked at all times, whether or not a dispute happens.
FLEX flips that: bonds activate only when a challenge is raised.

Signing a Bitcoin transaction is easy. Getting it to a durable confirmation is not.
A new BitVMX article breaks down a Transaction Coordinator library: broadcast, tracking, automatic fee bumping via CPFP/RBF, and structured event reporting.

The Agentic Economy Briefing #05 is out.
This month: the x402 Foundation formalizes governance under 40 companies while Bitcoin ships its own answer in L402, Ledger puts hardware between agents and their own wallets, and we ask who's actually holding the leash on what an agent is able to do.

Just a few days ago at Stanford, our CTO @SDLerner and CSO @AFutoransky presented "From cut-and-choose to constant-size proofs of garbling correctness" at the Workshop on Cryptography for Bitcoin, co-located with the Science of Blockchain Conference 2026.
The talk covered the paper's key points: replacing cut-and-choose with a succinct proof for garbled circuit correctness, constant verification cost, STARK-recursive prover at 25k gates/second on commodity hardware.

ICYMI: When a person hits a paywall, they reach for a credit card. When an autonomous agent hits one, it has neither a card nor an account.
bit2/x402 is our answer: an Express middleware that lets any endpoint charge per request (API calls, files, inferences) settled instantly through Bit2's client-side verification.
No payment processor, no shared database, no channel to keep alive.
Built on Bit2, Fairgate's Bitcoin-native payment layer for the agentic economy.

Tomorrow at Stanford: our CTO @sdlerner and CSO @AFutoransky present at the Workshop on Cryptography for Bitcoin, co-located with the Science of Blockchain Conference 2026.
Full program here: bitcoin-cryptography-worksho…
The paper replaces cut-and-choose (the standard, and costly, way of proving a garbled circuit was built honestly) with a succinct proof: constant verification cost with a working STARK-recursive prover reaching 25k gates per second on commodity hardware.
See you there!
